Background and approach
Infidelity and jealousy are listed focus areas she supports individuals to process. Her style is straightforward and nonjudgmental. Sessions are meant to be a place to say what’s on your mind and work through next steps together.
She encourages practical problem solving and clearer ways to handle everyday stressors. When someone starts with Susan, they can expect a calm, steady presence and an emphasis on small changes that add up. She listens for patterns that keep problems going and helps people try new behaviors to test what works.
Susan’s long career gives her experience with many life stages and issues. She uses that background to tailor conversations and goals to each person. Her aim is to help clients build confidence, improve relationships, and cope more effectively with life’s challenges.
Practical approaches and online therapy options
Many clients benefit from evidence-based techniques that focus on thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive approaches look at unhelpful thinking patterns and teach ways to reframe thoughts and try new actions to reduce anxiety and low mood. Behavioral techniques focus on changing routines and habits, such as sleep schedules or activity levels, to improve mood and energy.Susan treats therapy as a collaborative process. She works with each person to choose which approaches suit their goals and preferences. Together they test strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so progress feels steady and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video can feel closest to an in-person visit, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options help fit therapy into busy days and different routines, while keeping focus on practical problem solving and steady progress.
